Info

The Operation Plan Checklist has been created from the rules and regulations for your use as a guide in the development of the operation plan for your facility. Sample forms have also been created for your use based on the rules and regulations and are included in the Resource Section of this Applicant’s Guide. OPERATION PLAN DEFINED Your Operation Plan covers the day-to-day operation of your center. Items that are included in your operation plan are: • Personnel Policies/Handbook: This is the handbook given to your staff and should cover all information in your policies and procedures as well as all requirements for your staff. • Policies and Procedures/Parent Handbook: This covers all information that your parents need to know about the day-to-day operation of the center and should be organized in an easily readable format that parents can turn to for answers about the type of services you will provide. • Schedules: Each classroom is required to have posted a daily schedule of age-appropriate activities that children are involved in at the center. • Menus: Menus are a required posted item and a sample menu for your center must be submitted. • Emergency Plans: Your policies and procedures may state that emergency plans have been developed and are posted for parent viewing. Plans that must be submitted are your step-by-step plans for each of the emergency situations listed in your operation plan checklist. • Transportation Plan: Written plan required for routine transportation or field trips. • Operation Plan Checklist: Please include your checklist in its entirety when submitting your operation plan. • Forms: Sample forms have been provided for many of the items required. Any forms that you will be using other than sample forms provided by Bright from the Start must be submitted for review.
